Kraken Alternatives — Evidence Comparison

Alternative venues are shown for evidence comparison and are not recommendations. They are included because published evidence attributes differ from Kraken — not because Kraken is “bad”, and not because of commercial relationships.

Why these venues are included

Each candidate differs from Kraken on at least one published evidence attribute (regulation, legal-entity mapping, PoR, custody, geographic records, products, or completeness). Inclusion is deterministic from the public snapshot.

What remains unresolved

Open questions and missing domains stay unknown. An empty cell is not a safety finding.

  • Kraken: Status page located; no dated material incident structured this phase
  • OKX: Status page located; no dated material incident structured this phase
  • Bybit: SATOS partnership terms are regional/partner-scoped; not applied as global Bybit custody. Added PoR wallet-disclosure claim only.
  • Bybit: No confirmed primary incident record packaged this phase
  • Binance: ADGM Nest trio roles mapped from official ADGM Terms; Binance FZE mapped from FZE Terms + VARA VL/24/04/001. Do not treat any single entity licence as brand-wide global authorisation. Nest Trading Limited role kept as unknown enum (broker-dealer/off-exchange per terms) pending richer role taxonomy.
  • Aster: Terms/Privacy remain brand-only 'Aster'; no discrete corporate legal name confirmed. Re-audited 2026-09-13: keep THIN; do not invent fills.
  • Aster: No regulator licence/registration identifier found; Terms prohibit jurisdictions but do not establish authorization record
  • Coinbase: No crypto-native PoR snapshot row. SEC/audited financials and customer-asset safeguarding disclosures remain separate transparency (see attributedStatements) — not mapped into por[].

Limitations

This is not a “best alternative” ranking. Evidence differences can change as records are re-verified. Regional records do not imply global approval.
